Chapter 175

"You finally came."

When sensing Xiang Guangtai's arrival in the Inverted World, Giratina immediately flew back from a distant floating island, leaving Scizor as the only Pokémon to continue being a beast of burden in the distance. However, when Giratina arrived at the abandoned workshop, it saw those Applin lining up to share a fruit it had never seen before.

"What is that? Golden apples?"

Giratina's eyes were full of wonder. Xiang Guangtai did not talk nonsense, directly picked the largest apple and handed it to Giratina. The latter lowered its head, carefully opened its faceplate, and accepted Xiang Guangtai's feeding. After eating the Golden Apple, Giratina immediately felt the extraordinariness of this food!

First is the wonderful "taste"! Sweetness occupies the dominant position, and there are other rich flavors as auxiliary, stimulating its nerves and heart. Afterwards, whether it was fatigue or loss of power, they were all recovering rapidly, as if several recovery-type states had been hung on its body. Energy also surged up again, and there was also a "fullness" that it had not felt for a long time?!

As a Legendary Pokémon, especially the god in charge of the Antimatter World, Giratina, like its two brothers, is an existence that can live for a long time by only absorbing natural energy. Its demand for food is not high, and it can even do without it. Giratina's initial purpose for planting apple trees was just to transform the world here. As for eating apples, it was secondary.

"Hoo..." Giratina had not felt this kind of wonderful satisfaction for a long time. And besides the feeling of fullness, there was also that kind of growth feeling like ability improvement... To be honest, this feeling was even more strange to Giratina!

The Space-Time Trio are powerful Pokémon created by Arceus himself. Their abilities have been constantly growing since they were born, until they stop at a certain threshold. They are the pillars of the world. Compared to those Pokémon that are still in cultivation and can still slowly become stronger, the power of the Space-Time Trio can no longer be improved.

But now, Giratina felt growth again!

It was simply like returning to when it was just created—it was only at that time that this feeling was retained! The feeling of becoming stronger every moment!

"This is a very powerful apple." Xiang Guangtai did not forget to promote it a bit more.

In the Mystery Dungeon world, the rarity of Golden Apples is even higher than Perfect Apples!

Look at those Applin addicted to gnawing apples! They crave Golden Apples, but because the output is too small, they are quite anxious. Some Applin even want to monopolize the Golden Apples and transform them into their "new home." As for the original apple body... sorry, we are not familiar, let's break up!

Of course, this behavior was resisted by other Applin. They twisted together, collided with each other with apple bodies, and their eyes and tails also swung at each other, looking quite funny!

"Click-clack-click-clack..." When Giratina arrived, the Applin turned around and looked at Giratina, and then continued to show off apples as if nothing had happened. Giratina discovered that they would leave residue after eating apples, and then under the forcing of mysterious power, those residues would be reborn as complete apples!

"Is this Recycle?"

"Yes, the thing I promised you has been done." Xiang Guangtai patted the Celebi statue: "With this statue, all Applin can recall the move Recycle. Now, even for Applin with the Gluttony ability, you don't have to worry about them stealing from themselves and eating all the apples."

When this was said, several Applin revealed expressions of guilt, and the speed of eating slowed down a bit.

"Click-clack~"

And the previous green apple jumped onto Xiang Guangtai's head. The power Xiang Guangtai just used made this green apple feel a strange sense of closeness to Xiang Guangtai, but the behavior of lying on Xiang Guangtai's head and eating apples made Xiang Guangtai somewhat speechless.

The head is covered with food residue!

"Have your Pokémon come?" Giratina used Strange Wind to blow up one or two apples again, and did not forget to ask Xiang Guangtai if he had brought his Pokémon, because only Xiang Guangtai's Pokémon could quickly make the apple tree seedlings grow up.

"Of course, and the things you asked for have also been done. Look, these are Heat Rocks."

Stones with red crystals were poured out of the backpack all at once. Xiang Guangtai also mentioned that he had already placed a mirror at Regirock's trading post. In the future, if Regirock digs up more stones, it can directly exchange with Giratina through the mirror, but Giratina also needs to prepare corresponding rewards here.

Giratina had already considered this matter last time. Unfortunately, useless things are everywhere in the Inverted World, and useful things are really few and far between. I don't know if the stones here are useful to Regirock.

"Send the stones in the Turnback Cave as a reward to the Rock Giant."

Giratina muttered in its heart. Those stones are formed by the intersection of brilliant life and departed life, and are considered by ancient people and Pokémon as the entrance to the Spirit Realm, and are not ordinary rocks. As a reward, they are definitely qualified.

"Let's test it on the floating island of the abandoned workshop." Xiang Guangtai carved an embeddable base for one of the Heat Rocks, so there was no need to worry about the stones flying around. Afterwards, he made it into the form of a Stevenson screen, and also let Giratina carry one piece itself.

Afterwards, Giratina used "Sunny Day"!

Resonance occurred between the Heat Rocks. The light of Sunny Day completely illuminated this floating island, making it no longer in the state of half-cloudy as before. The sun was bright, the breeze was blowing, and the Applin raised their heads one after another, feeling as if they had returned to the real world, jumping up happily and joyfully!

Ah, sunshine! Praise the sun!

There is such a saying in the Hisui region: Strong light shines and shadows are born. This was originally used to describe the relationship between Arceus and Giratina, but now Giratina has released dazzling light, and shadows... seem to no longer exist?

Giratina issued an excited dragon roar. From now on, it can really sow the sun in the Inverted World! And more weather will also be unlocked with the arrival of new weather rocks. It's just a pity that Giratina itself only masters Sunny Day learned from Lilligant, as well as its own Rain Dance.

If it wants to trigger sandstorms and snowfall to simulate more real-world weather, it still needs to find corresponding weather-type Pokémon.

"Come out, Grotle."

Xiang Guangtai released Grotle. The red shrubs on its back were eye-catching. And when Grotle appeared, the other Applin naturally felt a kind of attribute affinity and unconsciously leaned toward Grotle.

"Use Bullet Seed."

The soil near the abandoned workshop had been reconciled and was fertile land that could be planted. Grotle sprayed seeds, and under the care of Sunny Day and cultivation ability, those seeds quickly began to sprout and grow rapidly.

Xiang Guangtai fed a Golden Apple to Grotle as a reward and introduced the role of those "seeds" to Giratina.

Those are seeds mixed with a variety of crops, which will grow rapidly in a suitable environment, making this place full of more types of plants, so that the ecology here gradually becomes prosperous and colorful.

"Plants born in the Inverted World will adapt to the environment here and produce states different from the real world."

Xiang Guangtai touched one of the crops.

【Plant: Sunflower (Immature).】

【Description: A beautiful plant shaped like a small sun and with heliotropism. Influenced by the Inverted World, after this plant finishes growing, it will permanently maintain this posture and will not wither. The energy accumulated here is very strong, and this plant will grow up soon.】

"It's become an island of ginger," Xiang Guangtai muttered in a low voice.

And there are sunflowers in the mixed seeds? Ha, it seems that these are mixed a bit too much.

Crack.

A strange cracking sound came from the backpack, and something suddenly began to glow.

Xiang Guangtai opened the backpack suspiciously. The backpack containing many tools and materials was shaking, and then, several fossils automatically "crawled" to the upper layer of the backpack!

"I felt a weak life force..." Giratina looked at Xiang Guangtai taking out several fossils and leaned over curiously. Feeling that these fossils might still have the possibility of resurrection, Giratina made a suggestion.

In the original anime, there was an outrageous episode where the Omanyte that had originally turned into fossils were quickly resurrected under the illumination of strange moonlight, and they didn't even go through a fossil restoration machine. This is enough to prove that some fossils still retain part of the weak life force.

Speaking of which, clearly possessing the technology to restore "incomplete fossils" into "Pokémon," but the technology for cloning Pokémon and restoring human bodies is still stumbling. The technology points of the Pokémon world are really crooked to who knows where.

Xiang Guangtai did not expect that the Inverted World still has this function?

Restore fossils?

Oh, but considering that the space-time rift that appeared in the Hisui era was Giratina's masterpiece, the Inverted World seems to indeed possess the strange power to forcibly reverse things that have already happened. Maybe soaking in water and then being struck by Giratina's lightning, it really will live?

Xiang Guangtai held those fossils and checked their status:

【Ancient Artifact: Helix Fossil.】

【Description: The body of Omanyte that has completely fossilized. Originally calm, but because the chaotic energy in some areas of the Inverted World has been pacified, new energy paths have been produced. Influenced by this new power, the life seeds hidden inside the fossil have been activated! Perhaps there is a possibility of "rebirth"!】

【Item Event: If you restore it, perhaps you will get something... Your cultivation craft, combined with Giratina's power, may play a role.】

There are also 【Dome Fossil】, 【Root Fossil】, 【Armor Fossil】.

Giratina thought so too. It took Xiang Guangtai and couldn't wait to come to a huge reverse waterfall. Xiang Guangtai had an impression of this waterfall! In the game, after the player enters the Inverted World, they have to pass through this waterfall to reach Giratina's position. Unlike the real waterfall, the waterfall here flows against the current.

"I want to bring down the Thunder of Wrath here!"
